GENUINE LEMON JUICE AND LIME JUICE IN THEIR MOST GLORIOUS FORM.

Exclusively sun-ripened lemons and limes.

But what is the secret of SICILIA ORIGINAL? Is it the wonderful aroma of freshly squeezed citrus fruits or the unique natural taste of sun-ripened lemons and limes? Why not the best of both worlds, presented in an attractively shaped bottle?

The shape, appearance, and functionality of the bottle have not changed at all over the decades. The SICILIA ORIGINAL brand has always stood for the most precious part of the citrus fruit. A simple recipe for success, yet one which has well and truly stood the test of time.

SIZILIA or SICILIA?

It all began in Germany: the spark of an idea, the inventions and development of the bottling systems, supplying customers, and more. Even the brand name was coined by Gustav Paul Hildebrandt in his home country of Germany—following the German-language spelling of the Italian Mediterranean island SIZILIA, with a “Z.”

With the establishment of an autonomous company location in Messina—a small port city in Sicily, where our citrus fruits also ripen—a strategic statement was made about the company’s international orientation. That’s why the brand is marketed internationally as SICILIA, with a “C.”

For a long time, both spellings of the brand could be found on the shelves of many globally operating retail companies. Since 2019, however, the brand has been presented worldwide under one unified name: SICILIA.

A lot has changed over the years—but the unique taste of sun-ripened lemons and limes has stayed the same – this we can promise you!

Sicily, the sunny side of life.

Here in Sicily is where we grow the lemons that make our juice something very special indeed. The geographic location, Mediterranean climate, and ash eruptions from Mount Etna, Europe’s most active volcano, all contribute to the incomparable quality of the fruit, its uniquely mild taste, and its purity and goodness. Organic quality at its best – just the thing for a bottle of SICILIA ORIGINAL.

SICILIA – A supply chain built and refined over decades.

The strength of a brand is always reflected in its supply chain. This is exactly where SICILIA has enjoyed a clear advantage for more than 75 years:

– Tradition and origin
For three generations, SICILIA has cultivated close, long-standing relationships with selected lemon and lime growing regions. These decades-long partnerships ensure quality, traceability, and the reliability of our raw materials.

– From tree to bottle
At SICILIA, the same principle applies: only a fully controlled supply chain – from cultivation and pressing to bottling – can guarantee consistently high quality standards. This “from farm to fork” philosophy has shaped our brand from the very beginning.

– Sustainability and responsibility
Long before “clean label” or “organic” became trends, SICILIA was committed to naturalness: lemon and lime juices without preservatives, carefully processed to preserve the fruits’ organoleptic properties. Today, we continue this commitment with organic juices, recyclable packaging, and a clear dedication to sustainability.

– International focus
With a production site in Switzerland and exports worldwide, SICILIA is firmly established on an international level. Today, our brand stands globally for quality, Italian-Sicilian origin, and reliability – comparable to the most successful market leaders.

– Brand and family DNA
Unlike many corporations, SICILIA remains family-owned to this day. That means personal responsibility, long-term thinking, and a clear commitment to the brand.

For decades, we have relied on a historically grown, trusted, and fully controlled supply chain – one that makes our brand distinctive and valued around the world.
